Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Edward Lee Hicks (Bishop of Lincoln, 1910-1919) Scholar, reformer, saint, lovable human being - the union of these characters is one personality is so rare that it might be held to justify a record, even if many who knew Edward Lee Hicks had not asked that his story should be written. The fullness of detail of the old two-volume biographies has not been attempted here; still less has there been any desire to imitate the more modern fashion of impressionistic portraiture, broad strokes and splashes of colour, or the "cleverness which never knows when it is handling something too great for it, and is always cutting capers when it had better be upon its knees." What has been essayed is a study of the growth of a mind and character - the influence of heredity, early associations, religion, culture, friendships, the forming of a creed and the application of it to life, the practice of plain living and high thinking, of earnest praying and strenuous working, in the career of college tutor, country parson, city rector, political reformer and ecclesiastical ruler. The biographer´s function is to interpret, not to pass judgment. That his own view of every question should be identical with that of the man he is trying to represent is neither possible nor desirable.
